Scanned images won't fit photo boxes in book

Hi.
Well, I am working on a book filled with letters from my grandparents (Old Toad, thanks for your earlier help). I've tried scanning them in and then placing in the boxes, but they are being cut off. When I try cropping at the 4x3 image, I still loose the images. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance!

If you don't see any cutting off of the scanned images in a frame you shouldn't have to crop them. There's an option when you Control-click on the photo in the frame to "Fit to frame". If the photo is 4:3 I think it will be scaled up to fit the window exactly. If it's not then the larger size is scaled up to fit, leaving more white space on the shorter side. It's a minor thing, mostly aesthetic in nature.
Before completing the ordering process I suggest to find and copy the pdf file that is produced by iPhoto for uploading and printing to review carefully. Just to be on the safe side. Here's how:
How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is "/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

Add drop shadow curled page like default photo boxes in books.

When I pick a theme in Books in Aperture, I see the photo boxes have rotation and a shawdowed, buttom edge curled effect to the photo plaeholder boxes. I figured out how to add photo boxes and even size and rotate them, but cannot see how to add the shawdow/curled effects to the placeholder. Nor can I 'edit' existing placeholders to change there size or rotation. Seems it should be easy... but not. Also, how to add a custom page background color other than the very limited selection allowed/offered?
Thanks!

LewisO,
if one could adjust the size and rotation of these theme supplied containers. That too, I have not been able to figure out how to do.
which theme are you using? Each theme is behaving differently and some are very restrictive. For example, the "Formal" theme does not allow to rotate the photo boxes or to change the aspect ration.
The "angle" slider in the layout options and part of the size options will be dimmed for hese themes.

I am trying to sharpen the scanned image of an old picture. When I use the sharpen tool in the book mode, the picture is momentarily sharpen when I hold mouse button down then fades to prior condition.

I am working on a book (theme: photo essay). I have a scanned image of an old photo which is fuzy. I try to use the sharpen tool. When I hold the track pad down to make an adjustment and then release the pad, the image is momentarily sharper then fades to its prior state. How can I get the sharp version to stay?

Why does it do that?
(The September Random Music Mix image won't fit perfectly.)

What are the EXACT video settings, and what project preset are you using?

Scan images into Forms app / Twain scanner

Can you provide your thoughts on how to have a Form ***QUICKLY*** scan and crop passport photo size images from a scanner
Speed of data entry is essential so I would like to minimize the total time and keep the mouse and key click count down.
I would like to do as much as possible within the form window. Scanning directly into an image on the form would be nice as the current app does this via a Twain scan
The scanned image will be stored in a file (either on the Forms application server or in the client MS-Windows file system ). The file name will be stored in the database and displayed in the form. Im not sure if the image needs to be displayed in the form window or not.
The scanned images are passport sized photos of face.
The user needs to make minimum changes to the photo - usually only cropping.
Are there any Java beans that will help do this ? Should I use OLE via WEB_UTIL ? Any other ideas ?
Thanks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Environment : Forms 10g (9.0.4.0.19), Database 10gr2, Window client, Linux / Unix application server, scanners are Twain compatible or can scan to file.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks - that is the info I was hoping for.
There are Forms java bean solutions from two different people on that page. Ill try and get in touch with them and see if I can sponge the code off them.
In the meantime, please post more suggestions if you have them

HP LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw scanned images are too bright

Hello!
Is there a way to change scanner's default image color correction as currently all of resulted scanned images (text documents, graphics, photos) are unnaturally too bright?
I had another HP Ink Jet printer also with scanner and all scanned images have good color correction there.
So I think there is a problem with my current one.
Does anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Hello, Futoji!
Sorry for big delay.
I did what you've told me and now I am wondering about what I see.
1) To scan documents I use both HP Scan and Apple Image Capture with default settings (no color correction).
Well it does not matter, though, because I see bright pictures right after scanning them.
2) I scan documents from flatbed (not feeder), well it is the same for feeder.
3) So, what I noticed was that printer scanned document and printed it almost exactly as it was only using hardware buttons on it.
But when I did scan using both programs above the same document, it was getting too bright to be real... When I printed such scanned image the result was accordingly bad.
So, what I think is that this scanner works differently for hardware buttons and software or applies some filters on the resulted image...
I found 2 similar posts to mine, they are describing the same problem for different printers, but unfortunately they didn't seem to be solved.

Fitting a photo or image to the photo box size

I cant always set the photo to fit the photo box size in iPhoto when designing a book.
How do you do this?
Can someone help me please?

That is the way you do it so if it is not working for you we need more information on what you want to accomplish, what you are doing,what happens and what does not happen
Another way to skin the cat is to be sure your photos are in a 4:3 ratio by cropping them - that is the ratio of the frames - as long as you are placing a 4x 3 ratio photo it will fit the frame

Need help editing scanned images of old photo album pages PSE 9

Before I begin this project, I thought I'd get some advice from someone who has undertaken a similar project. I have three photo albums from the 50's and 60's. The albums were made by my mother who mounted the photos (mostly black and white but some color photos) on construction paper (of various colors) using the corner holders or glue. She hand cut the construction paper so each page is not a perfect rectangle ( about 11" tall, 8.5" wide). The pages were punched and put into a three-ring binder.
She added text to the edge of the photo and/or to the construction paper. Each page contains one to 6 photos and text. Each album has about 120 pages. I want to keep the notes on the construction paper so I scanned each page into a TIF files, 400 dpi and stored the images in a separate folder for each volume.
I use (poorly) PSE 9. I see it has a auto straighten/crop feature that can be used one photo at a time. I tried the divide scanned images function and that did not fully separate all images on the page and also created an image for stray objects on the page such as an unused corner holder. (I know those things have a better name but it escapes me now.)
I plan to create photo books for my siblings. I am now thinking of cropping the image of each page (rather than each photo on the page) into a uniform size, adjusting levels, contrast and sharpness, saving this image to a JPEG file, and using these edited JPEG images to create the photo book. Since each page was hand-cut, there will areas of white where one page was torn or cut smaller than another page. Some pages will have blanks where old photos have been lost leaving behind only the corner things. It won't be perfect but it will be an image of the album as it exists today.
My questions are:
The pages are about 11 by 8.5. Does anyone know a photo service that prints photo albums in a portrait layout in this size? I have been unable to find one; it looks like most online photo books are wider rather than taller.
Let's assume I use a company such as Shutterfly that offers a 12x12 format. I assume it would be better to edit the images in PSE9 rather than any online software. What should I do to keep the proportions in the current images true but make the image fit a 12x12 page, for example?
IS there any other editing software anyone can recommend that will speed this up, hopefully a software that would take multiple photos at one time, auto-straighten and auto crop to a set size? And also auto contrast/level/sharp. If I could use such auto features on these images and then go back and adjust the photos that did not play well with the auto features, that would save me time.
I appreciate anyone's input. I dread doing this but we have one set of photos and 5 siblings so it has to be done. Thanks!

Hi,
Mentioning your issues one by one:
1) PSE does not have any portrait Photobook available, so your thought was the best way to get the work done is by choosing the 12x12 - shutterfly one.
2) PSe does a good job of editing the images. You can set your images of approx. 11x8 size to fit to the 12x12 page. Just choose a one photo page Layout for the page and then right click on the image to " Fit photo in the frame".
3) If more edits are required for the image, you can easily go to Advanced mode and edit your photos, layouts, move the frames, images or add effects to the images.
4) Photo book creation sure takes time. because, you want it to be the best. I am sure PSE would help you best here.
Go ahead and create you photobook. Inc ase you get stuck somewhere, you can always post here to get help!
Cheers,
Swarnima

I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air. I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work. The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything. What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder. So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air? Whew!

iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files. For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file. It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs. The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue? I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Got a 90% fix. Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
1. Quit Image Capture
2. Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
3. Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
4. Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
5. Quit and restart "Image Capture". Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder. It insists on saving to "Pictures".
That's as far as I was successful. I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
This is what I tried:
6. Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
7. Quit "Image Capture". Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
8. Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
9. Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer. I like "~/Desktop"
10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter. Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
I consider this a bug.

Pictures and Scanned images are now gray boxes

I have Adobe Reader XI and it will no longer show images or allow me to scan from my printer. I have a mac, and have always been able to create pdfs and scan to them until the past few days. My version is up to date. Images in pdfs and the scanned documents now appear as gray boxes.

All your images are pointing to your Templates folder. I would guess that they are not uploaded to the server.
I don't think that is the ideal place to store your images. Normally, one would have an image folder and images would be there. Also your css is also in your Templates folder, not ideal again.
IE:
Your css: <link href="../Templates/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Your image(s): <a href="../Templates/still_life_1_css.html"><img src="../Templates/still_life_1_thumb.jpg" width="35" height="35" border="0" /></a> <a href="../Templates/still_life_2_css.html"><img src="../Templates/still_life_2_thumb.jpg" width="35" height="35" border="0" /></a>
Usually when they are greyed out, then could be a broken link.

N96 Photo Editor - Edited image won't save

When I open a photo, and select 'Edit' from options, I rotate my photos to the correct composition (as they were taken upside down!) and then from options I select 'Save'. The progress bar appears to indicate the device is processing the change.
However on returning back to the image menu, the photo simply reverts back to how it was before. Which is annoying as with the auto rotate switched on its impossible to look at photos when are upside down!
Am I missing something out or is there a bug in the image editor?
Hope you can help, thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I've just tested this and you are right - it does revert back to displaying the original photo after saving. If you then just click "Back" to return to the menu, you may no see the image depending on which option you selected when you went into "Photos".
The new image won't appear in "Captured items" because it is not an image actually taken with the phone's camera. If you go back to the Photos menu and select "All", your edited image should appear in there.

HT3669 Now that the driver update allows my HP printer to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

According to IC's help:
If you can’t see your scanner in the list, refer to the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to scan images.
Alternatively, quit IC, reset your AIO in Print&Fax prefPane, relaunch IC, and see if that lists it.

Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

How do you position an image inside a photo box?

I'm trying to create a 20 page 16x8 book and I cannot figure out how, after putting a photo box on the page, and dropping an image into it, how do I move the image around inside of it. For instance if I create a square photo box, how do I position a 3:2 image inside of it?

Double click it.
